Chapter 530 Lao Nuo and Kang Ju
Chapter 530: Kang Ju's Identity (Doubts)
Kang Ju's unexpected appearance made the incident take the first turn, as well as the true identities of him and Lao Nuo, while walking into the room, Xie Yunmeng looked at Kang Ju, just looking at his face, it would indeed make people feel that he looked like a woman. The skin is delicate and snow-white, and the pupils are like pearls, and although the hair and clothes are dirty and wet, they do not hide these two characteristics in the slightest.
Looking at the figure again, the impression is only thin and thin, and Kang Ju's face also makes Xie Yunmeng very concerned, with an unnatural flush on both sides of the snow-white skin, Xie Yunmeng asked casually: "Are you not in good health?" ”
"Me? It's okay, there will be some minor illnesses and pains, but it doesn't affect the work. Kang Ju replied casually, and he was walking to the pile of boxes on the side of the room, ready to sit down and be questioned by the criminal police.
Xie Yunmeng's continuous gaze made Yun Yeyao a little surprised, and he himself looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any clues, so he asked, "Xiao Meng, what are you looking at?" ”
"I'm looking at his face." Xie Yunmeng replied, his gaze still resting on Kang Ju's face.
Yun Yeyao grabbed him and asked, "Is there anything wrong with your face?" You think he's in poor physique, right? ”
"Yes," Xie Yunmeng replied to Yun Yeyao, and then said to Kang Ju, "Tell me honestly, do you smoke a lot, and you have a great addiction to smoking?" ”
"Me? I do smoke every day, but it's about the same as the men here! When Kang Ju replied, he seemed to realize something, and turned his head away from the criminal policeman's gaze.
Lao Nuo took the lead in sitting down, he didn't say anything, just waiting for the inquiry to start, Kang Ju's smoking had nothing to do with the case, so there was no need for him to interject. It was Kang Ju, the woman on the side, who showed a worried look.
After the two of them sat down, only Kang Ju was still standing in the middle of the house among the people questioned, and it could be seen that Kang Ju was a little nervous, and his thin body was tense. For Xie Yunmeng's sudden question, he obviously didn't understand what it meant, and it was best to wait for the criminal police to answer it himself.
Xie Yunmeng said, "Mr. Kang, it's right for me to call you that, right?" ”
"That's right."
"Your face shows that you already have signs of nicotine poisoning, and although I am not a forensic doctor, I have captured many old smoking guns, including those who are terminally ill with nicotine poisoning. Your complexion is not that serious, but I think tobacco has probably affected your health, so it's best to wait until the case is over to get it checked. ”
"Ha, when Mr. Criminal Police is investigating the case, he can still be distracted and pay attention to the health of others, thank you so much, I will adopt your opinion." Kang Ju replied casually, and took a few steps to sit down next to the other two. Now the position of the three of them is that Lao Nuo is in the middle, Xiaoju and Kang Ju are on his left and right, and Kang Ju is the one closest to the window.
Xie Yunmeng was noncommittal about Kang Ju's words of thanks, he said to Yun Yeyao: "Xiao Yao, let's talk about it first." ”
"Then let's go to the door." Yun Yeyao replied immediately.
Xie Yunmeng said: "No need, it's right here, it doesn't matter if they hear it, let me ask you, what is your first impression of Chef Yan?" ”
The criminal policeman's question made Yun Yeyao pause for a moment, but he immediately understood the criminal police's intentions and replied: "Chef Yan looks very physical, not fat or thin, with dark skin and a ruddy complexion. ”
"Yes, but if you look closely, it's not too healthy and ruddy. Look at Kang Ju in front of you again, his skin is white, there is not much blood, his body is thin, although his body shape and silhouette are somewhat similar, but he still can't be confused with Chef Yan. I don't understand, Xiao Yao, why do you think he is Chef Yan? Xie Yunmeng asked.
Yun Yeyao looked at Shang Kang Ju and took a few steps closer, he was re-determining whether his judgment just now was wrong. Kang Ju was looked at by him very unnaturally, and lowered his head to avoid his gaze. Yun Yeyao didn't speak, and walked closer to the window to take a closer look, and after more than ten seconds, he suddenly reached out and wiped it Kang Ju's cheek.
The fingers passed through the cheekbones from the temples and scraped all the way to the chin, the nails brought out a white mark on the skin, Kang Ju shrank in pain, and immediately used his hand to cover the place that was scraped by Yun Yeyao.
Then you didn't break the skin, but you left a strange feeling, as if something was missing? In an instant, Kang Ju understood what Yun Yeyao was doing, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but fortunately he didn't raise his head immediately, otherwise, he would really be discovered by the criminal police and actors with his abnormal expression.
Yun Yeyao walked back to Xie Yunmeng, spread his palms very close to the eyes of the criminal policeman, and said, "I thought it was strange just now, when he climbed up from the lake, his hair and clothes were soaked, but why is there no water on his face?" If he had been in the room for a while before we found him, there was absolutely time to change out of his wet clothes instead of just wiping his face. ”
"If he crawls out of the lake and we catch him, how can he have time to wipe his face? In the next room, I didn't see a towel for wiping his face anywhere, not even a tablecloth, what did he use to wipe it? ”
Xie Yunmeng looked at Yun Yeyao's hand, there was a trace on it that was much lighter than his skin tone, Xie Yunmeng asked, "Is this a trace of cosmetics?" ”
"Yes, that's one of the reasons I think he's a chef of words, skin color! Chef Yan is on this island, his skin is relatively dark, and the purpose of wearing a beard is to make himself look rougher. The figure should also have undergone a certain amount of camouflage, as long as you wear a few more clothes, or wear clothes that look fat. ”
"But I didn't have any red marks on my fingers, which proves that Kangju didn't use blush. The flush on his face is real, that is, Xiao Meng's judgment is not wrong, he is indeed not in good health, and it is much worse than you think, because even the concealer foundation does not cover his abnormal complexion. ”
This is another function of the beard, which hides the physical condition, as long as a little makeup and a thick beard, others will naturally think that the person is in good health. After she had retired as a cook, she hid under the window next door, climbed in while we were not looking, and hurried to shave off her beard and restore her original appearance. ”
"But to restore Kang Ju's appearance, he only needs to wash off the camouflage on his face with lake water, so why does he have to dry his face and apply makeup?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
Yun Yeyao said: "I don't know the reason for this yet, but I think the only purpose of his makeup should be to cover up his poor health." Maybe ......" The words after it were drowned in Yun Yeyao's throat, and he stared at Kang Ju carefully, wanting to stop talking.
After a few seconds, Yun Yeyao continued to speak: "I think, for so many years, Kang Ju has been hiding, not just now, in addition to Lao Nuo, this lady here should also be very important." ”
"Maybe there is also the so-called guest Jia Chen in the fifth room upstairs of the hotel, I doubt that Jia Chen really exists? According to the previous statement, he was just a resident who came to buy an umbrella, and the murder had little to do with him. Assuming that Jia Chen exists and is not involved in the homicide, then where is he? Is it hiding or is it already dead? ”
"Assuming Jia Chen doesn't exist, the person in the room is very suspicious, this person needs to play the role of a client to live on the island on a regular basis, and deliberately makes himself look untouchable, which proves that at least he needs this identity to occupy the fifth room, and he doesn't want the people on the island to contact him more."
In order to play the role well, he also needs good swimming skills to be able to escape at any time in the event of an emergency. There must have been people on the island who he knew in the past, so I can deduce it further...... You" Yun Yeyao suddenly pointed at Kang Ju and said, "Before you disguised yourself as a chef, you might have other identities!" ”
"Of course, Lao Nuo may also be the 'Jia Chen' in the fifth room, and the Kang Chen who was attacked downstairs, he is also suspicious. But no matter what, Kang Ju is the one who has the most free time and the least appearance in front of everyone among these people, so you are the most likely to play multiple roles alone. ”
"But I want to figure out one more thing now, assuming that you are indeed Jia Chen, then is the person you love here, Xiaoju, or the stupid big guy downstairs?" Yun Yeyao leaned down and leaned his face closer to Kang Ju.
Kang Ju was obviously breathless, and it took a while before he said: "The emotional problem is not involved in the homicide case, I don't need to answer you!" ”
"But I think that emotional issues are precisely the key point to figure out each of your identities, why do Kang Chen and Xiaoju go to great lengths to help you at the risk of being suspected of being murderers? Why does Lao Nuo have to hide your identity? ”
Yun Yeyao stood up straight as she asked, her fingers running over everyone, and then seemingly unintentionally stopped on one person's shoulder and said, "I think some people may want us to know the answers to these questions." ”
Kang Ju didn't pay attention to his movements at all, just looked at Yun Yeyao's face with puzzlement and consternation.
Yun Yeyao didn't stay long, walked back to Xie Yunmeng's side, and continued: "Xiao Meng, Lao Nuo said that Kang Ju followed Kang Chen to the city in the past, and the relationship between the two of them was not bad, but he hinted that because we couldn't get the approval of our family, they returned to the island and settled down for a long time. Lao Nuo, am I right? ”
"Yes, I did hint at that." Lao Nuo replied very simply.
Xie Yunmeng finally figured out something, and he asked, "Xiao Yao, do you mean...... Kang Ju and Kang Chen, they ......"
"Yes, but I'm not sure if it's an illusion or a real thing, because there's a little orange in the middle, and at first I thought that the little orange existed to cover up what happened between them. But now I find out that I was wrong, Xiaoju definitely can't be just a shield, there must be a secret between Kang Ju and Kang Chen that we don't know. ”
"You're so sharp, we wanted to use you to influence Mr. Detective's thinking, but now that I think about it, it shouldn't be possible." Kang Ju lowered his head, pulled out an equally damp handkerchief from the pocket of his damp clothes, and slowly wiped his entire face clean.
When he raised his head again, the criminal police and the actor could clearly see that what appeared in front of him was a face with dark skin, heroic facial features, large and bright pupils, but a large and unnatural flush on the face.
In the lower part of his face, some cyan shaving marks can still be seen, and Kang Ju said to the actor in a mocking tone: "Do you know why my stubble was not left in the next room?" ”
"Because you shaved off your beard when you were in the lake." Yun Yeyao replied with a straight face, but it attracted a slight ridicule from Kang Ju.
"That's smart......"
"Seriously, we're not kidding you!" Xie Yunmeng immediately shouted to warn Kang Ju.
Yun Yeyao said at this time: "Xiao Meng, I don't know what to say, there is always a bad premonition that plagues me. I hope the speculation about Kangju will end here, but ......"
"But what?" Xie Yunmeng immediately asked.
"I can't tell, Xiao Meng, but I think that in order to solve the current murder case, we must learn more about the past of this island, maybe ...... The murderer does not exist in the present, but comes from the past. ”
Yun Yeyao's words made the faces of everyone in the room gloomy, Lao Nuo always pursed his lips, Kang Ju turned his head to look out the window, and Xiao Ju lowered his head and grabbed the ribbon of his clothes with both hands.
Kang Ju said: "No matter what, Mr. Yun, what you said is just speculation, and I have already admitted that I am Kang Ju, and I also played Chef Yan, so you can't extend it indefinitely and let us bear the trumped-up charges." ”
Mr. Actor didn't answer, he followed behind the criminal policeman, his eyes looked at his most trusted companion, showing a little overwhelmed. Although Xie Yunmeng didn't know what he had guessed? But in this situation, Mr. Criminal Police had no choice but to shake his hand tightly to reassure him.
Mr. Criminal Police said: "There will always be evidence, the murderer can't have no flaws at all, you wait, Xiao Yao and I will definitely solve all the puzzles and bring the murderer to justice." ”
"You and me?" There was surprise in Yun Yeyao's eyes.
"Yes, you and I, before the outer police arrive, let's solve the case together." Xie Yunmeng turned his head and looked at Yun Yeyao with a determined gaze, and the latter suddenly felt relieved, and a smile suddenly crept up on his face.
Then, Yun Yeyao suddenly turned to Xiaoju, as if she had changed into a different person, with a little ruffian on her face, as if she was smiling, and her steps approached the young woman, so frightened that she moved straight back, and even stood up from the box.
"Xiao Yao, you ......"
Xie Yunmeng was about to say Xiao Yao, what do you want to do? saw Yun Yeyao reach out and grab the woman's arm, and in just a moment, the actor let out a miserable scream, retreated to Xie Yunmeng's side, and pointed at Xiaoju and shouted: "She has a knife on her." ”
"What ?!!" Xie Yunmeng rushed up and twisted Xiaoju's arm behind his back, at this time, another person also acted quickly, he suddenly hugged Xiaoju and yelled at Mr. Criminal Police: "Let go of her!" ”
The man's pupils were clouded with fog, and his eyes were anxious and irritable, with a deep panic, completely different from what he had just looked.
When the person holding Xiaoju reached out and wanted to break Mr. Detective's hand, Xie Yunmeng unexpectedly let go, and asked Yun Yeyao: "Xiaoyao, her skirt has no pockets, and she can't hide a knife, what do you mean?" ”
"Kang Ju is in love with Xiao Ju, Xiao Meng, I didn't guess wrong, you can understand it by looking at Kang Ju's expression."
Xie Yunmeng immediately looked at the person holding Xiaoju, he was Kang Ju, at this moment, Kang Ju was comforting the frightened Xiao Ju with anger on his face, and Xiao Ju naturally hooked his neck with his hand, and his whole face was attached to the other party's shoulder socket.
"What about love? Does this also have anything to do with homicides? Kang Ju asked rhetorically, very emotional, Xie Yunmeng returned to Yun Yeyao and stood still, also with a little anger, and whispered to Mr. Actor: "You actually fooled me, I will remember." ”
"I'm sorry, but if I don't do this, I can't test his mind. He won't admit it to himself, and if he explicitly asks you to attack a woman, you won't agree. ”
"Not next time, you know?"
"Alright, I'm sorry......"
"Two, are you done? Now that it's your turn to talk about the past, and since you want to understand the past, I'll talk about it. Lao Nuo suddenly spoke, interrupting the interaction between Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng, they looked in the direction of Lao Nuo at the same time, even Kang Ju unconsciously looked at Lao Nuo, and the anger on his face faded a little.
Lao Nuo was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Kang Ju, he regained his calm tone, simply took Xiao Ju in his arms and sat down, and said: "Aren't you afraid that we will push the boat down the river and make up a lot of rhetoric to continue to deceive you?" Moreover, I guess Mr. Detective is a person who doesn't want to listen to nonsense, right? ”
Yun Yeyao shook his head and said, "Whether you are lying or not, Xiao Meng will judge based on the evidence, and I just want to hear what you have to say." Let's talk about it, the two little oranges, and the old man who cares about this island, what happened in the past? ”
Lao Nuo waited for everyone to stop talking before he spoke slowly: "I am the person who knows the past best, and I am also the one who single-handedly brought up Xiaoju and Xiaochen. Although everything is different now, I still ask you not to doubt these two children, they have no ill intentions, they just want to get back what they lost. ”
His sentence 'Everything is different from the past' made Yun Yeyao feel puzzled, and the guess in his heart also went one step further, and the actor continued to listen quietly.
"It all started 50 years ago, when I was a young man in my 20s and lived in a fishing village on the north shore of the lake. At that time, the village chief's surname was Yan, and he was Chef Yan's grandfather, so Chef Yan did exist, his real name was Yannuogu, and he had been dead for almost 15 years. ”
"Fifty years ago, the fishing village was very prosperous, and the fish and shrimp in this big lake fed them for many years. At that time, there were two most authoritative people in the fishing village, one was the village chief Lao Yan, and the other was called Kangnuo, everyone called him Lao Nuo, and Lao Nuo had a 15-year-old son named Nuo Nuo. ”
The case is narrated here, Yun Yeyao finally began to understand the past, Xiaodou and Yueyue have not yet appeared in Lao Nuo's narration, but according to Yun Yeyao's analysis, we can guess that the current Kang Ju and Xiaoju are very likely to be Xiaodou and Yueyue in the past.
